Happy October

Now I can get my spook on and decorate for Halloween this weekend.This week Karli blogged about her awesome Halloween decorations. I had to have the glitter skeleton she put in her wreath. I usually don't do skeletons and blood but he was too cute.So I made a trip to Dollar Tree during lunch to pick up my little spook.

Doesn't he look cute. Now my wreath looks a little more Halloween than fall or Auburn.I am sure the silver or white would have shown up better but the black was drawing me in.

Dollar Tree had some other cute decorations. When I have a kid I can't wait to buy all of this cheesy Halloween stuff and have a big party with chili and grilled cheese. It will be an awesome display of Halloween randomness and tackiness. And then when we retire and have a pumpkin patch the party will be even better!

The glitter skeletons in white or black, they were out of silver.

I loved these chandeliers. They came in orange or purple and unfolded to be 3D. If Eric doesn't have my kitchen pendants up by Halloween I am going to hang these.

Light up lanterns for only $1!

These cookies would be so cute in gift baskets. They had some other fun unique candy.

And the Dollar Tree's own version of a Funkin. They weren't as realistic as Funkins and had a bad seam but were a cute size and for $1 it would be fun for kids to try out.

If you are into the gory decorations they did have a lot of those. Plus paper plates & napkins that were adorable. Remember those honeycomb tissue paper decorations from elementary school? DT had a lot of really cute baby pumpkins, bats, ghosts, skeletons.
